CASE STUDIES

Rogers Lewis has helped deliver hundreds of successful tax credit development
projects. Here are just a few of our success stories.

WOODSIDE MILL

Lofts at Woodside Mill
Greenville, SC

By harnessing state and federal historic credits, coupled with the state mill
credit and Bailey Bill tax abatement, the rehabilitation of the Woodside Cotton
Mill into the Lofts at Woodside wove together a rehabilitation plan that
reinvigorated not just the mill itself, but the ancillary structures on the site
to create a vibrant community and successful project. The 309 apartments retain
the industrial character of the historic textile, including interior wooden
columns, exposed brick walls, and the mill’s eighteen-foot ceilings, keeping the
massing of the space intact. Thoughtful consideration was given to where
original painted walls, ceilings, and columns would remain while carefully
removing paint in private areas to provide a raw aesthetic. Central corridors
running the length of the building to access the apartments and allow the mill
interior’s original height to be displayed. Concrete floors were added to create
acoustical and fire separation between each level of the building and maintained
the industrial character of the mill. New sheet rock walls separated each
apartment while leaving the exterior envelope walls brick. Exposed ductwork adds
to the industrial feel of the building.

WESTERN AUTO, ROSE TALBERT PAINTS, & POWELL FURNITURE BUILDING

Hotel Trundle Bourdreax Architecture Firm
Columbia, SC

Hotel Trundle and Boudreaux artfully combined three separate buildings from
three eras into two distinctive spaces. Occupying both levels of the Western
Auto and Rose-Talbert Paints as well as the first floor of the Powell Furniture
Building, Hotel Trundle capitalized on the unique character of each building to
inform its design, while creating a cohesive vision for the hotel. The Powell
Furniture Building retained the pressed tin ceilings, removed the non-historic
exterior paint, restored the original storefront design, and creatively
incorporated hotel rooms with lower ceiling heights to maintain the full height
of the historic mercantile space. At Western Auto, the original baked enamel
exterior sign was wrapped in vinyl to retain a prominent feature while
advertising the building’s new use. Original windows and exposed metal decking
on the second floor remained while the first floor retained the highly finished
appearance of a 1940s commercial building. The iconic Modern tripartite window
on the second floor of Rose-Talbert Paints was carefully restored while a new
second floor addition, which was not visible from the street, added additional
rooms. The asymmetrical storefront, complete with pigmented structural glass,
was restored on the building’s façade. Boudreaux’s second floor office in the
Powell Furniture Building retained the pressed tin ceilings, hardwood floors,
and signature row of columns down the center of the building.

EDWARD’S 5¢ - 10¢ - $1.00 STORE

Grand Strand Brewing Co. Lofts at BSBC
Myrtle Beach, SC

The rehabilitation of this former five and dime store into a brewery and short
term rental units retained the character-defining features of this mid-century
commercial building while breathing new life into Myrtle Beach’s downtown. The
project restored the original storefront design, retained the red baked enamel
signboard as well as the original twelve-over-twelve second floor windows to
maintain the commercial character while transforming the interior into a
state-of-the-art brewery. The open floor plan helped maintain the historic
mercantile space while the second floor storage space allowed more flexibility
for subdividing into apartments. The exposed brick walls and metal decking
ceilings were maintained as they were historically present while new floors and
sheet rock partition walls were constructed for the building’s new use. The
project has helped revitalize Myrtle Beach’s historic downtown commercial center
while preserving a prominent historic building.

TAX CREDIT MONETIZATION

Real Estate investment tax credits are valuable incentives that can be used to
add tremendous value to properties that qualify for them, but many developers
need the value of these incentives converted into cash during construction and
development in order to help finance their projects and make such projects
feasible. Rogers Lewis understands this, and has helped hundreds of clients
convert their future tax credits into a source of project funding. Our knowledge
of the industry, the market for such credits, and the players in those markets
is an invaluable resource that we provide to our clients.

Learn More About Tax Credit Monetization

“The Rogers Lewis firm helped launch our venture into historical renovations 7
years ago. Our work with them includes the restoration of the Fannie McCant
Elementary school into townhomes, the Beaufort jail into condominiums and 12 new
cottages, and we are now working on a large school conversion into 53 apartments
and 20 single family homes. From the initial stages of analysis to the actual
monetizing of the tax credits, they have been our counselors thru each stage. We
have been so pleased with their service that we have recommended them to other
developers with whom we work. Their ability to balance the many technical
aspects of historic renovations with the practical economic realities make them
a valuable asset in any development. Their staff are highly competent and
experienced and we consider our relationship to be more of a partnership than
attorney-client.”
